- Rihanna and A$AP Rocky announced in February that they are expecting their first child together.
- Earlier in her pregnancy, Rihanna mostly wore oversized clothing.
Rihanna had not yet announced her pregnancy when she attended the Presidential Ceremony in Barbados in November 2021.
On November 30, before Rihanna announced in February that she was expecting her first child with partner A$AP Rocky, she attended the Presidential Ceremony in Barbados as the nation removed Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state and declared itself a republic.
Likely a few months into her pregnancy, the singer and entrepreneur was declared a national hero at the ceremony. To accept the honor, she wore a tangerine halterneck gown designed by Bottega Veneta, which is listed on NET-A-PORTER for £1,850, or around $2,470.
In the months before she announced her pregnancy, Rihanna stuck to oversized styling with big coats like this one.
During a December shopping trip in New York City, Rihanna opted for an oversized navy quilted bomber jacket, which Harpers Bazaar reported was a fresh pick from Miu Miu's fall/winter 2021 runway, alongside the white and black leather gloves by Miu Miu.
The magazine added that she wore a large black tracksuit with thin blue side-stripes, designed by Martine Rose. She reportedly paired the outfit with Balenciaga's Knife boot and white statement sunglasses by Loewe.
The entrepreneur opted for a head-to-toe black leather look in mid-January.
With a Prada leather bomber jacket, The Attico leather pants, and Celine cowboy boots, as identified by Vogue Singapore, Rihanna made bold maternity choices in her early pregnancy with an all-black leather ensemble.
She wore the outfit with a fresh-faced makeup look for dinner at Carbone in New York, British Vogue reported.
While stepping out in New York City with partner A$AP Rocky, Rihanna continued to style oversized sportswear with luxury touches.
Grazia reported that the singer paired an oversized red Balenciaga parka with a Martine Rose football jersey, a black baseball cap, barely-there Amina Muaddi crystal heels, and leather Miu Miu gloves in matching blue, white, red, and black.
She added a vibrant red lip and Yves Saint Laurent earrings that elevated the look.
In January, Rihanna was photographed for her street style as she continued to wear oversized items and heels.
On January 26, the Fenty founder visited a sneaker store in New York City while wearing a Bottega Veneta shearling coat with a matching orange hoodie by Celine, and camouflage pants, according to Vogue Singapore.
The publication said Rihanna added glam to the casual look by finishing it with a monogrammed pair of Balenciaga x Gucci crystal-embellished heels.
Further into her pregnancy, Rihanna added a Prada fur scarf to her ensemble.
The fashion and beauty mogul wore a $995 blue and white sporty windbreaker by Martine Rose paired with a Yves Saint Laurent bouclé mini-skirt that featured a dark green fur trim, according to Fashion Bomb Daily.
Rihanna accessorized the look with a pair of white wrap-around Manolo Blahnik stilettos and a navy and white striped Prada fur scarf, which the publication reported has a cost of $6,222. She draped the scarf over one shoulder.
After announcing her pregnancy, Rihanna began to subvert expectations of pregnant women by opting for daring and fitted outfits.
In January, Rihanna announced her pregnancy in a series of photos taken by celebrity-favored street photographer Miles "Diggzy" Diggs in Harlem, New York, where she wore a pink Chanel coat, unbuttoned to display her bare baby bump.
On Feburary 11, she arrived at a Fenty Beauty event in LA in a sparkly, shredded green halter top and pants from The Attico, Fashionista reported. A version of the top cost $3,060, while a version of the pants cost $8,180.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the beauty mogul said she hoped to redefine what it means to be "pregnant and maternal" through fashion.
"When women get pregnant, society tends to make it feel like you hide, hide your sexy," she said. "I don't believe in that s---. So I'm trying stuff that I might not have even had the confidence to try before I was pregnant. The strappiest, the thinnest, and the more cut-outs the better for me."
Rihanna was on the FROW at Gucci's AW22 show as part of Milan Fashion Week 2022.
